Trivia / Armored Core 2

• Referenced by...: The game was the subject of a 2001 article by The Onion satirizing media coverage of mass shooting and scapegoating of their cause, by telling a story of the game being blamed for causing a Zio Matrix AC to go on a mass-murderous rampage.
• Tuckerization: Many characters in the English translation were named after friends of the translator.
• What Could Have Been: According to Agetec producer Jeremy Kaufmann, FromSoftware had seriously considered making the game a Sega Dreamcast exclusive. These plans were likely scrapped due to the Dreamcast's financial failure, with the series remaining a Sony-exclusive until the release of Armored Core 4.
